Impressions Gallery During the festival weekend and until 29 October: in an Sadly, Impressions Gallery has announced its intention to relocate after 33 years in the city of York. It will close its doors to the public at its York location on Saturday 29 October 2005. SightSonic owes a great debt to Impressions. Not only was the gallery one of the founding members, but Anne McNeill and Emma Cheshire were in the group that thought up our name. Helen Rice is again running this year's FLUID trail. It is a great loss to the city after 33 years of actively contributing to the contemporary cultural life of this heritage rich city. We wish the Gallery continued international, national and regional success. (See www.impressions-gallery.com for news of their new developments). |

Stephan Mathieu & Janek Schaefer Stephan Mathieu, from Saarbrücken, bases his work on recordings of acoustic events and esoteric software processes. London-based sound artist Janek Schaefer creates music that explores the spatial and architectural aspects of sound. Together, they have released and performed their music to critical acclaim and created site-specific pieces around the world. Stephan and Janek formed their audio/visual duo following a spontaneous duo concert in Szczecin, a city by the sea in Poland. They met again at the home of composer John Tavener to make recordings of his collection of classical and exotic instruments. For this project, these recordings are used to create soundscapes that weave together lush drones and sparkling tones to produce various intimate, hypnotic, and exhilarating experiences.
